Description Jack D. Pond 2007-05-12 20:28:00 UTC

If namespaces were allowed as sub-categorization of images, a large number of features could be 
enabled through extensions and other customization, including:

* Namespace protection on images
* Categorization, sorting, search by namespace (and category) of images
* Tree-structuring of images (eg, sub-directory type listings using NS and designated categories)

The proposed mechanism would be two-fold:

# Allow namespace in image link (eg., Image:[ns]:[Image Name])
# Include namespace in file hash (eg., [ns]/[category]/[hash]/file.img

This functionality can be implemented by patching 4 files and is completely reverse compatible with 
previoius versions.  Additionally, the proposed patches require this functionality to be enabled 
(disabled by default), and poses almost no overhead when not used.

It provides a platform for much needed image categorization, including enhanced listing and 
segregation with very little cost.

Modifications:

SpecialUpload.php - modify to allow uploading of image using [ns]:[Image Name] format, assign to 
ns, and save in [ns]/[category]/[hash]/file.img hashed format
Image.php - parse ns/category in image reference (if exists)
ImageFunctions.php - parse ns/category in image reference (if exists)
Title.php - needs two set property functions

Optional:

img_auth.php - enhance to use enhanced hashing or (preferable), new img_authNS.php which does same 
with NS protection checking (old img_auth would still work, just wouldn't have 
overhead/functionality of NS checking).

Comment 8 Jack D. Pond 2007-05-12 22:25:16 UTC

TimStarling is updating the file repository handling process, will include ability to do this via extension 
versus patching - highly desireable.  Included patches with this bug can be applied against 1.10.

TimStarling: after image changes, I think you might be able to implement this as a plug-in repository, well, 
plus any UI changes, but I don't think you'll have to make backend patches.  The way it works is that you 
specify a repository class to be used as the local repository

Diffs should normally be placed in one file so they can be read and applied 
more easily.

Comment 14 Brion Vibber 2007-05-14 15:10:39 UTC

This seems too hierarchical and hard-wired, the opposite of the sort of
categorization and tagging we like to see on a wiki.

I don't see it as being very useful.

Comment 15 Jack D. Pond 2009-09-04 22:03:57 UTC

Was able to use TimStarling's FileRepo system to create a new local Repo - NSFileRepo.  As of 1.16.0, will require no patches to implement.  Minor patching reqiured for versions 1.13.0 through 1.15.1
